August Sleevers-How are you doing??

At this stage you should NOT get have protein shakes that much and that often anymore. The calories will just slid thru your sleeve. The reason your doctor is so restrictive is to prevent the most common complication of the sleeve which is leak. Let your stomach heals. You better off eat 3 oz of solid protein 3 x/day and minimal snacking and avoid carbs as much as you can. -

For those with plantar fasciitis, the foot brace definitely helps. Also can use cold/warm therapy. If it is indeed plantar fasciitis the pain should be worse when waking up. It is also worse when walking in bare feet or sandals. If you want to walk you should use sneakers with good arch support. Although surgeons ask you to avoid NSAIDs this is more of an issue with bypass and not as much with sleeve. Ask your surgeon. I myself developed horrible incision site pain and I used NSAIDs + ppi from day 8-21. -

I also make my own high protein popsicles using low fat vanilla ice cream, berries and da vince splenda simple syrup Cook 2-3 cups the berries in the da Vince syrup to get the best flavors of the fruit. When assembling the popsicles alternate layers of yogurt and fruit. At the end use a kabob stick to swirl. Each popsicle will have If you prefer icy popsicle dont use the yogurt and each popsicle will have only 10-15 calories.

Pureed food ideas
mabreu replied to newlifebegins2017's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I love pureed salmon. I buy good quality salmon put salt/peper and bake it (be careful not to overbake). Than I put on my ninja blender with fat free greek yogurt, light mayo and chives. It is delicious! I do the same with chicken and imitation crab.
